Title: W5 SCT and Conversion Kits - Losi comparison
Post by: RossMod on January 27, 2012, 04:47:02 AM: Thought we would have a mess around with the W5 and see just how big it is next to the mighty Losi 5T!

Just wondering can you show us how the stock RR or the new team car looks with the W5 SCT 190mm Xross-max wheels????

Thanks man, looks much better then the stock wheels. :good:

Is is possible to use the stock gear ratio with those wheels or is the MCD W5 using different gear ratio?

The shell was courtesy of RCS, John did a great job.

And here is the car so far -

The new wishbones are extremely well made and the fit is perfect. Also the latest version of the Samba is a much better fit and it feels solid in its mounts.

I also took the liberty of asking our resident tuner to breath on my G290, so I now have the new Evo Tuning Stage 2 RS evo! :D

Will post on the engine once I've had a play, but if the last one's anything to go off my poor car is in for the ride of its life!

don't you just love alloy!
